Home-s rtin avert ortof rtheYÈarE Tnstees d 31 March 2024 ACHIEVEMETrrfAND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Backdrop 2023/24 ha5 been a very challenging year. The county has been in the grip of a financial crisis with cutbècks in both ntrnl and local govemment and an increased cost of living for everyone. This has led to an increase in demand for our services, with families experiencing continually complex support need5. It has been even more challenging due to a reductlon in people's capaaty for volunteering and working in a very competitive fijnding environment. Need Although a while since the Covid ￿triCt[OnS were in pla￿, the impart of Cowd has continued to affett our families. They are still feeling the impact of lengthy isolation and lack of social interaction for their children. Neady three quarters of our families have experienced financial diff1w￿leS with inc￿a51n8 use of foodbank5 and community tupboards. The Waverley Borough Council Support Fund has been a lrfeline for many. During support a rising number of parents reported mentsl heatth issues and appr0￿MatelY 20% had experlenced domestic violen￿. Addrtionally, we have noted an increase in families with SEND issues rising to over 25%. As a result there has been a marked increase in the complexity of support need& Numbers The number of referrdls has remained high at 88 throughout the year from over 15 partner organlsations. However there have been fewer referrals from Health Wisitors and other Ststutory partner5 and a steady increase in self-referrals. Across the year 83 Volunteer5, Staff and group work have supported 256 familles Induding 502 children, We are m05t grateful to ail our volunteers for their help and support in a very d)allengin8 year. What we￿e done on￿ again, our main focus has been home- Visiting support through volunteers. However, there has been a marked increase in demand for our support groups across the Borough. Our family support groups are now well established and this year 87 families have been supported through our links to community group Team We are fortunate to have had a strong and stable team across the year. We were sorry to say goodbye to one of our Crisis Support workers and sadly we were unable to replace her hour5 due to fundin8 issues. Indeed, the slgnificant funding issues mid-year meant the Trustees were forced to ask the team to take a l(PA cut in hours for 3 months while we addressed the shortfall. We are extremely grateful to all the team as they have continued their hard work throughout the year despite the cut In hours and uncertainty of fundin8 Finances We have On￿ been able to provide the SeN1￿ to our familie5 Wtth the support of our funders and we owe a great debtto all the organisations who have supported us thi5year. However, the funding marketplate has changed significandy with many rn0￿ organtsations seeknng help from fewer funders. Deasion making has been slower with funding criteria chanEinB. Thi5 has been particularly true for larger funding opportunities. It meant we were very reliant on more smaller funds. However, the team have worked very hard to find new opportunitie5 and thanhSully despite a dip in fortunes mid-year we have finished the year very close to the original budget. Goin8 foThvard Page 2

Home-stsrt in Wav rt of th T stees e Year 31 March 2 Going forward, as always, w@ can only see the need for our support growing. We have Signifi￿nt thallenges on two fronts. Firstly, we need to maintain our fttnding in such a dlfficult funding marketplace. Secondly, WÈ also need to recruit more volunteets to top up our pool. The current finanoal pressures mean more people are bÈing drawn back into paid employment and lots of tharities are also seekn.ng volunteers. We face a busy year ahead ! Trustees During this financial year we were luckry enough to welcome th￿e new trustees, eath inspired by the work we do here at Home-start in Waverley. With a full complement, two of our e￿stIng trustees took the opportunity to step down. We thank them both for their time and dedication in making Home•Start in Waverley the impactful se￿￿ it is today. srRucfuRE.
